The garden was virtually deserted, so a flock flying over it at c 11.40 was a much needed bonus. They were going W-SW and there were about 100 (give or take 10%). I'm having to estimate because the birds were directly over the house, so I could only see half the 'V' formation from my upstairs window (after having heard them first). Nice to see as don't get as many over in the east as we used to.
